ERODERS investigates the interactions between specialized bacteria and marine algae, focusing on the role of complex sugars in carbon sequestration. The project aims to uncover the mechanisms that support these relationships, which are crucial for understanding the carbon cycle and the health of marine ecosystems.
Marine algae fixing CO2 into organic matter is central to the global carbon cycle.
While the food chain and marine bacteria consume roughly half of the fixed carbon, a harder-to-degrade fraction remains in the ocean, naturally sequestering CO2 and lessening climate change effects.
This remaining fraction is mainly derived from algal complex glycans that provide structural support, defense against microbial pathogens, and can be a carbon source for the algae microbiome.
The specialized bacteria f…
